Alto’s Adventure, an endless snowboarding odyssey for iOS unlike any other, has received its first major content update after making its App Store debut in February of this year.
Available free to existing users, the ‘Workshop’ update includes support for Apple’s 64-bit processors, iOS’s low-level graphics frameworks called Metal, along with a bunch of other new things.
Alto’s Adventure 1.1 also packs in six new languages and a bunch of fun new items available via the in-game workshop, such as helmets, llama horn, wingsuit timer and more.
Here are some of the new items in Alto’s Adventure 1.1.
Wingsuit timer lets you fly even greater distances by increasing the duration of the wingsuit timer. Like other new items, the new wingsuit timer is available in the workshop, provided you have collected enough coins to buy it.
The new helmet protects you from a single crash per turn, but won’t rescue you from chasms. For that, you’ll need the Chasm Rescue update, described as “a magical pickaxe that saves you from a single chasms per turn.”
And this is how it works.
Seen further below: the new helmet in action.
Check out the stampede.
The update includes too many improvements, bug fixes and enhancements to describe individually so check out the official changelog below for the full list of changes.
Alto’s Adventure 1.1 changelog:
Built by Snowman, Alto’s Adventure is one of the best games in the App Store.
It’s stylized graphics, unique artwork style, smooth execution, addictive concept and evolving challenges have kept me glued to my iPhone countless nights.
A premium game with no ads or In-App Purchases, Alto’s Adventure features a one-tap control system for easy pulling of various tricks. It only takes a few minutes to master so you’ll be drifting through peaks and valleys, grinding rooftops and leaping over chasms like a pro in no time.
Simulated night and day and weather conditions, backdrops like Chasm, Dawn, Forrest, Night, Snow and Storm, more than 200 goals to compete, each carefully handcrafted and raising the ladder in terms of the skills required, somber soundtrack and sound effects designed for an immersive experience and other perks make this game a must-have, in my personal opinion.
Check out my review of Alto’s Adventure.
The 77-megabyte app requires an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad with iOS 7.0 or later and is optimized for the iPhone 5/5s/5c, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus screen resolutions.
